The purpose of the course was three-fold: (a) help students makea good transition to college; (b) introduce students to engineering; and (c) prepare students forthe engineering curriculum by teaching them a number of basic skills.The online aspects of the course are delivered using PathFinder, a website developed at theuniversity. The course chapters are given in the PathFinder Plan Tab shown in Figure 1.Semester projects are used to reinforce course topics. Students work on the project during the labperiod.

The laboratory prompts are kept to about ½ page in length, introducing a problemor concept and tasking students to develop a hypothesis, design and conduct an experiment,analyze data, and discuss the implication of the results. A sample assignment is provided inAppendix B. Each design group meets with the course instructor once a week outside of class fora 15-minute meeting to discuss the previous and upcoming lab and address group dynamicsconcerns. (7)A group

The motor does notchange linearly to a linear change in percent modulation. The measurement data of the motorresponse is shown in Figure 4-a. This non-linearity is countered by using MATLAB® tocompare the actual motor values to a desired linear set of values ranging from minimum tomaximum motor current. The percent modulation, which corresponds to the desired current, isplaced in a look up table, which is represented in Figure 4-b. Finally, the motor values are bandlimited to 20% of maximum possible thrust. The thrust limitation is implemented because watertesting of the

A long-term design project that integrates knowledge from multiple courses strengthens student knowledge retention. 2. A large-scale design project requiring tools from many courses improves student problem-solving and design skills.By integrating five semesters of the mechanical engineering curriculum into a cohesive whole,this project has the potential to transform the way undergraduate education is delivered.

The objective was to ensure that all design technology graduates possessedan understanding of technology management practices in the areas of production, planning, andcontrol; quality control; safety; and management specifically. The goal was to improve the levelof understanding of technology management among graduating design technology graduates.An initial study of the students’ performance was completed in the spring of 20121. In this study,the performance of design technology majors on their understanding of technology managementwas ascertained. The criterion for success included (a) a 91% pass rate for all who sat for thecertification exam and (b) for those who did not pass the exam, the number of correctly answeredexam items will fall
